A crazed fan tried to grab Harry Styles’ crotch as he performed at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday night, and the incident has sparked serious outrage amongst the fandom.
During the We Can Survive concert, an all-star benefit concert for breast cancer awareness, a flurry of hands reach out to Harry as he kneeled close to the crowd – however, one overzealous fan seems to grab his crotch.
Harry quickly moved away before continuing with his performance, and he has not yet commented on the incident.
Check out the footage below:

WTF!!! When your favorite artist is close to you, this does not justify you touching him in this way. #RespectHarry pic.twitter.com/0PdUGR6nN2

Since the footage began circulating on social media, fans have the hashtag #RespectHarry trending as they claim that he was sexually assaulted.
“If you grab someone’s d*** without their consent, it’s sexual assault,” one fan wrote, while another commented, “Just because Harry’s a male doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the same right as women. You must be absolutely disgusting if you think him kneeling in front of you calls for that. I’m disgusted. #respectharry.”
“Harry has created such a safe space for everyone, and this is how he’s repaid? Sexual assault? I just… #RespectHarry,” another fan tweeted.
